Germantown

[Drew Oberholtzer]

I have several houses in Fishtown and am now looking in Germantown.  I lived in Philly for 10 years, but now I live in Los Angeles so I'm trying to get some feet on the ground opinions regarding the areas in Germantown that artists are starting to flock to.  My goal is to buy, fix, rent, and hold a few properties for a few years.

@Drew Oberholtzer - there has been a lot of new attention in the Germantown area. As you probably know first hand, Northern Liberties, Fishtown, and parts of Lower Kensington have increased dramatically and have been forcing people to look at different markets. 

A lot of the recent sub $200k activity for flips/rehab work has been going on in Brewerytown and South Philly. For some, Germantown is a little too far from Center City to invest in...but there are definitely opportunities there.
